Outsides Review

Alternative nation made a review about last EP from John Frusciante, here one parts of it:

"Former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist/Jedi Knight John Frusciante probably has the single most interesting career of any rock star of the past thirty years"

"The only segment of the album after “Same” that really has any semblance of order is a brief section of “Shelf” featuring his vocals, which are historically underutilized in his RHCP career outside of his creative and beautiful harmonies."

"Its sort of an industrial stream of consciousness, though I suppose Frusciante’s consciousness is in another spiritual plane of existence, and we’ll never truly understand his motives. I can’t picture ever listening to this material for leisure. Frusciante seems to be doing what he loves, but at the same time is depriving the world of his brilliant pop rock songwriting abilities."

Review your whole life

I found a good review of The Empyrean album.

John Frusciante probably isn't on the top of any charts or a common household name. He doesn't use auto-tune, nor does he have the best songwriters in the business to write his music for him. He is, however, an incredibly talented musician and he has recently released his newest album, The Empyrean.

"Review your whole life and and you don't even have to look good"
(Ascension - John Frusciante)

The last couple of days...

Most of you guys have been noticed these last days I'm too lazy to write something here...
This is true in part.... however there is also the fact of lack of mine inspirations.
Lately I'm not absorving nothing that could give some good text.
I'll try to write something good (intersting|new) in next days.
The obligation turns the things more ugly.
The lack of discipline turns thing more wrong.
Ohh I'm getting freaky! :P
The point is bring back the good post.
And stop to post just non-sense posts...

Bye.

John Frusciante - The Empyrean Review

The Empyrean review by myself

The meaning music by music for my interpretation.

Here I'll try to post my fellings 'bout each music from The Empyrean album from John Frusciante. My understanding! You must have in mind two statements:

• I'm not a musician specialist so any incorrect terms tell me and I'll make it rigth.
• My sound system just have 2 channels so with have some effect in 3D I possible can't feel :(

1 - before the beginning 9:09 (instrumental)

You can clearly hear the drums, I don't think Flea is at this track.

2 - song to the siren 3:33 (cover)

I'd never hear the original ( I can't find it for a while) however I like this music. Beauty and sound as familiar.

3 - unreachable 6:10 (premiere)

Two voices at "same" time COOL effect! (I loved) the first music I've heard. Flea could be here?! Maybe.
HotSpot - "hey shoot me..." + Solo

4 - god 3:23 (my prefered one for now)

You know the sensation of NEW this music comes to my mind as a total NEW concept of music (melody). It touchs my felling when I hear. The concept of God or the many visions of the same God, great lyric. "Still I love you, love you just the same... Be for me,"

5 - dark/light 8:30

Starts so sad, downside... with some beauty effects on voice (just voice and piano I guess) and at 2:45 the music shows the true form with one of most beautiful voices... perfect combination.
Ends with light moment. Comes from dark to light. The end voices screaming "ah ahhh" seems as church coral. Flea could be here?! (I believe so)

6 - heaven 4:03

Great base line! (and bass too).
Starts with silence, calm and ends with felling of "yeah I got what I need".

7 - enough of me 4:14

Starts like a lulaby music. John Frusciante second voice is perfect.
Ends fast as it can be.

8 - central 7:16

At beginning I fell like I'm on the Heaven (the felling of "everything is fine").
In midle to end the music make the central point to one of the best guitar solos.

9 - one more of me 4:06

The voice here is the main point, COOL!!
But the violin here was essential! The #1 for users view in this blog.

10 - After the ending 3:57

Clear mind, clear life... just live.
Also perfect voice and effects over the voices.

The bonus tracks I don't have them ;(
After read the poem I guess I've got a little of message within this masterpiece called The Empyrean. It's good to know that my impressions was "fine" (not right or wrong) with the intend of John Frusciante. I'll write one conclusion about the whole album history soon.
